Rinezha shippers love saying that it’s so tragic that their OTP could have been together, they were just caught on two sides of a war with opposing ideologies 🥺🥺🥺 and then neglect to mention that Nezha’s ideology that Rin took issue with was “women, poor people and minorities are disposable tools I can use to secure political power”

katniss is given grace for being a seventeen year old girl thrown into war (as she should!), but gale is never given any grace for being a seventeen year old boy who suffered the exact same way she did all his childhood and then chose to walk into the fight for whatever he had left. gale didn’t have a cinna or an effie; he didn’t see capitol people growing to care for katniss, he saw them walking her to a death match and then dolling her up as a child bride who got pregnant at seventeen. he had three younger siblings and a mother to take care of, he was hunting way before katniss. he’s the revolutionary people want katniss to be when in reality her story is about the effects of war on innocents.

I’m so sad that Su Daji earned a reputation as the seductive member of the Trifecta. Sure, it sounds like she was attractive, but we never actually heard any stories of her seducing people, just looking good. You know who WAS a sultry little seductress though?? Jiang Ziya!! We know he was sneaky linking with Tseveri AND Hanelai AND Daji AND probably Riga too and god knows who else. He was loved for his eerily timeless looks and insane personality and occult tendencies and apparently satisfactory kissing skills. And he only gets known as “The Gatekeeper??” Give this man the title he deserves!!

So I took a scroll through TPW reddit and found that people are interpreting Nezha as an allegory for Chiang Kai-Shek. I disagree, because strictly speaking he and his family function as a much more accurate allegory for Yuan Shikai (a warlord who overthrew the last Qing emperor to instate a “democracy” that he later rescinded and declared himself military leader of).

However.

I think the implication that Chiang Kai-Shek and Mao Zedong had a doomed situationship is really really funny.

I know this probably wasn’t the intention of RF Kuang, but Rin came across as incredibly lesbian to me. The way she processes her own attraction really mirrors how I used to process my own feelings before I came out, and I’m wondering if other fans feel similarly. Spoilers below obvi

So the first person that Rin is ‘attracted to’ is Altan. She really really craves his validation, is devastated when he doesn’t live up to the pedestal she puts him on (when she discovers his struggle with addiction), and is even more heartbroken when he dies. That being said, all of those feelings are not necessarily romantic. I think she projected herself onto him in the hopes of becoming like him, first at Sinegard when she saw another student facing racism and succeeding academically regardless of how others tried to push him down. Then, she sees him as a role model for how she can gain glory in the military even though she’s stuck in an assassins guild. I think the point that really sells him as a role model rather than a love interest is how she sees him in the Seal after he passes. She takes pleasure in his hallucination holding her and telling her that he’s proud of her and even calling her paternal nicknames like ‘kiddo.’ Then, when the hallucination Altan tries to kiss her she is very frightened and rejects his attempts at intimacy. Overall, I’m not sold on the idea that she was ever in love with him, just that she wanted to be him and have his reassurance and respect.

Then there’s Nezha. She was in no way attracted to him in Sinegard because he was an utter ass. Still is, I hate Nezha 👎. But as they grow closer due to their proximity and shared political goals during the war, she still isn’t really interested in intimacy with him. At one point he makes a joke while they spar that she should ask him to tumble her (or something of the sort) and she’s quite taken aback by the statement. The only time she really yearns for physical intimacy with him is when she’s heavily intoxicated (which of course, ends really poorly with him literally stabbing her), and even then she only wants him to kiss her.

I think it’s also worth mentioning Souji. She dislikes him when she meets him, but gains respect for him when she sees the success of his guerilla tactics. Similar to Altan, I think she wanted his respect and support. Later, she briefly considers sleeping with him, but it’s phrased through a lens of “other women find him attractive” rather than Rin actively thinking about how she finds his physical features pleasant. Then, the second he initiates intimacy by touching her chest and proposing they go to his tent, she becomes really really upset despite pondering the idea of intimacy with him just moments beforehand.

Overall, Rin’s interpretation of her feelings came across as her poorly processing a desire for support, validation and proximity to power. I think this is something a lot of lesbians like me can relate to, where we mistook platonic interest for romantic interest when we really didn’t want any kind of intimacy with the men we were “pursuing.”

Let me know what you think in the comments!

you figured love was an invention of the movies and the poets and the romantics. in some ways you are a romantic, and certainly you loved your friends and music and the sunrise. but a love like that - the icon - it is as real as a unicorn or a mermaid. sure, maybe in the history of humankind there has been something similar, the way a unicorn was maybe a rhino, or a mermaid was a manatee. over the hands of a real story, the magic had been added in; a fiction. sometimes people seemed very happy, this was an observable fact. but you thought that the statistical likelihood that you could experience such a thing was just not very likely.

sometimes you wondered if you even could. your first "boyfriend" was a spring of a thing. sometimes at night you'd think he's very nice. i should feel more for him. so maybe love was like a birthday: despite all the marketing, it just was never going to be very exciting. you tried love again, of course, you're an optimist and this is what society has told you is best. it all felt sort of fragile and lonely. you loved people because you do love people; you find it easy to do so. you love them like coffee or your cat's soft fur. but when men walked through your life: you never felt that magic. never felt that thing that is the cursed princess's cure. moonstruck. while you do admittedly sometimes want a family - you never found yourself picturing a husband, couldn't understand the allure.

and then the moon split a star into a person. and you finally met her.

I do think it’s funny to try to doxx that Chappell Roan had a boyfriend in high school when the average Chappell Roan song typically boils down to “I couldn’t figure out why none of the men I dated could satisfy me until I realized I was a lesbian”

He compels me and I will continue to post about him. But in the way that I can’t look away from a car crash :P

This came to me in a fever dream <3

Guys do we think Nezha is the type of toxic man who names his first child after his doomed situationship? I do, at least.
